Difference between Dominance (genetics) and Spinal muscular atrophy

Dominance (genetics) vs. Spinal muscular atrophy

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterised by loss of motor neurons and progressive muscle wasting, often leading to early death.

Similarities between Dominance (genetics) and Spinal muscular atrophy

Dominance (genetics) and Spinal muscular atrophy have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Autosome, Central nervous system, Gene, Locus (genetics), Mutation, Nucleotide, Protein, Sickle cell disease.

Autosome

An autosome is a chromosome that is not an allosome (a sex chromosome).

Locus (genetics)

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker (genetic marker).

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Nucleotide

Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomer units for forming the nucleic acid polymers deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both of which are essential biomolecules within all life-forms on Earth.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
